Why is the red-crowned parrot endangered?

Answer 1

It is endangered.
Although they are common in the pet trade, human encroachment on parrot territory and trapping for the pet trade has greatly depleted many parrot species, not only the green cheek.

Answer 2

Most species of parrots are not endangered, but hunting and trapping has definitely reduced the population in a great amount.

Some species of parrots are endangered and this is often the result of habitat loss through clearing of trees for urban development or agriculture. Other species are endangered due to poachers, as in the case of the Scarlet Macaw. In the case of the New Zealand kakapo, this flightless parrot is critically endangered due to predation by introduced predators such as cats.

Answer 3

The main reason for the decline of the Blue Bellied Parrot (or Purple Bellied Parrot as it is sometimes called) is habitat decline. In this case, much of its native rain-forest is being cleared for timber and cultivation.

One way to save this and many other endangered species is to allow private breeders and collectors to own them, and to breed them in captivity.

While there are isolated cases of animals in captivity being poorly treated, that is by far a minority of cases. The majority of animal breeders are responsible.

When sufficient numbers have been bred in captivity, they can be released into the wild. It is much better to release a large number than just a few pairs. This would ensure genetic diversity, while allowing for predation, illness and hardship to take its natural toll on numbers. Of course, this all hinges around there being somewhere left to release them.

Answer 4

Although they are very adaptable animals, loss of habitat is the main reason.
They are also very commonly captured and sold as pets, as they are very gentle and mature pets except for when the mating season comes. They can retail for under $200.00
and are very colourful (colorful) pets.

Answer 6

Swift parrots largely feed on the nectar of blue gum flowers (Eucalyptus globulus). Destruction of this habitat is the number one contributor to their declining numbers.

Answer 7

African grey parrots are listed as "Vulnerable", not yet endangered. Biggest reason for the decline is loss of habitat, and the pet trade. Now, all pet grey parrots are hatched in captivity.
